Joel McHale has said that his primary career goal is to make Community "the best show" on television.

While the actor told Parade that he hopes to expand into more feature film work at some point, he insisted that he is now firmly focused on the third season of the community college-based sitcom.

"Right now my main goal is to help make Community the best show on TV," he said. "And then hopefully I'll be in good, interesting movies. I'd love to do dramatic stuff. People think I'm a goofball all the time, but I'm actually a goofball only 95% of the time."

McHale also hosts E!'s The Soup - a weekly comedy series that satirises the world of celebrity - and claimed that he is yet to have an embarrassing run-in with a star he has mocked.

"Without exception, every reality star I've run into has said, 'Thank you' and 'Please put me on again'. People on reality shows don't care how they're portrayed. But I don't know what would happen if I ran into Lindsay Lohan," he said.

Community recently wrapped up its second season, while The Soup continues to air weekly at 10/9c on Fridays on E!.
